[laughter] but the word "sterling" is a great word, a powerful word. i can imagine the white house must be going nuts. but he was honest. and the man has had a great business career. over the years, have seen him. i have always heard that, if you have accomplished something, if you have done something that is terrific, if you are a great businessman, which this country really, really needs. as i said, we're just being ripped left -- we don't know what we're doing. and it is just so important. but when president clinton made that statement, the word is today that the white house is livid. if you know and if you have been watching -- and most of u.s. republicans have been watching t
